This is a short meandering route through a small but
well-kept urban park in Southeast London on raised ground within the valleys
shaped by one of London’s Hidden Rivers,
The Effra, and a couple of its tributaries. Created from the purchase of
the existing private gardens of the Brockwell
Hall estate and some smaller neighbouring properties, it is noted for its 19th century layout as a gracious
public park, a clocktower, water garden, and walled garden, as much as for the Art Deco Brockwell Lido. Brockwell Hall
has served as a café since the opening of the park in 1892 (but will be shut for
the day).

Bullfinch Brewery
Tap Room
Rosendale Road, SE24 9EH. Open to 22.00 hours.

The train from Victoria is at 18.45.
a case of fat fingers, I suppose...18.45/18.54. post corrected
2 enjoyed some pre-walk hydration at a local tap room then joined 2 more, making a total of n=4 for a relaxing stroll through Brockwell Park on a w=warm-almost-summer-evening. After the walk, the group split with some dining and others heading home.
